Ernst
Schuegraf combines his unusual combination of skills in cooking, photography,
fine arts and knowledge of saints' lives to present this unique cookbook that
captures a wonderful variety of recipes and inspiring biographies of each saint.

This
richly illustrated treasure of ancient and modern recipes from 21 countries
celebrates the Catholic tradition of honoring saints with special meals and
recipes on their feast days. Some 73 saints are depicted here with over 170
recipes that cover a broad spectrum of dishes that includes main courses, side
dishes, soups, snacks, breads and desserts.

In
addition to the wonderful recipes and stories of saints, this lavish cookbook
is filled with color pictures of each dish, as well as each saint. It also offers
a cooking glossary and four indices of recipes by name, saint, type and country.
